Commissioners authorize signature for FAA airport grant application; state and FAA grants expected to fund T‑hangar project
Summary
County staff sought and received board authorization to have Commissioner Barnes sign an FAA grant application to advance a T‑hangar project; staff said the state Airport CARE grant would cover $250,000 of the estimated project cost.
Crook County airport staff asked the board to authorize signing of an FAA grant application and to accept a state Department of Aviation grant for a T‑hangar project.
What was requested - State grant: staff noted a Department of Aviation grant covering $250,000 toward a T‑hangar/storage building project; the full project total presented earlier was shown as roughly $1.4 million with FAA and local shares to follow. - FAA application: staff requested the board authorize Commissioner Barnes (referred to as Brian/Barnes in the meeting) to sign the FAA grant application so the county could meet procurement and contractor award timing. Staff stressed the timing was critical because of a contractor award deadline.
Action taken A motion and second were recorded in the work session authorizing the requested signature for the FAA grant application outside the meeting; the chair called the question and the board voiced approval. The motion’s mover and seconder were not named in the audio transcript, but the request was approved on voice vote.
Next steps Staff said it expects to return with the FAA grant agreement and contractor award at the Feb. 5 regular meeting and that the grant and procurement schedule must be finalized quickly to meet the contractor’s 90‑day acceptance requirement.
